Oncopodura

Possible to go further?

We could try
But then we might need much better shots (read preparations) to see the diagnostic characters.
The first thing to check is the unguis of the 3rd leg : what is the shape of the lateral tooth?

Unsure what to look for
Neither side of the third unguis seems to have any sort of tooth shaped structure. I've added several shots of the "anterior" face at varying planes of focus.

In some species
there is a small short basal lateral tooth. In others a distinctly long filiform tooth. The latter can be broken and then it looks like a small one... So best is to check a few specimens from the same population.
We can assume that the tooth is very small in your specimen.
The next step in the key is to check for the post-antennal organ. It is located just behind the antennal base. The PAO, if present, should be lobed.
